A HUMAN Performance Expert and certified Flow Coach.
For over two decades, Alex has helped high-achieving professionals find their optimal state, elevate their performance and continually reach new heights.
Alex has a deep understanding of the science behind what makes us humans tick. You'll love how she turns theory into practical advice. Her insights will help you find your own version of high performance.
Her backstory is one of personal reinvention.
Growing up, Alex was told she wasn’t good enough, leading her and everyone around her to underestimate her potential.
In her 20s, a series of serendipitous moments made her realise that her inner game was everything. She set ambitious goals, immersed herself in learning and self-experimentation and embraced the uncomfortable to achieve her dreams.

Today, Alex is dedicated to helping high-achieving professionals find their flow and perform at their best.
Client Success Stories
Alex, thank you so much for the way you've approached coaching and your support in helping me explore my work and leadership identity.Â
I have appreciated your practical approach that is grounded in theory and wisdom and for which I know I have only just scratched the surface.Â
You've made such a difference already, as I have put things into practice and will continue to do so. You have helped me grow”
Nicolle Fowler
Leader @ Western Sydney Uni
I was deciding what to focus on after realising my career goals and aspirations hadn't quite fulfilled me in the way I had hoped.
Alex stood out through her work in flow theory and appeared to be much more grounded and results-backed than everyone else I found online.
Alex has helped me define values that deeply resonate with me. After consuming so much content and trying to do this myself with no success, it has been worth the cost of two sessions alone.
With these values I've gained a lot of clarity in the direction.

I am still basking in the warm glow of a truly phenomenal opening keynote with you! We know you kicked off the conference well for us as we continue to hear folks talking about their better understanding of Flow, practising the breathing exercises you discussed, and how to create the conditions that lead to optimal performance. So much good stuff!!Â
Thank you for helping our partners think more deeply about Flow, what their role may be in creating conditions for optimal performance and for challenging us to be more intentional in developing flow drivers, flow values, and leadership principles that will enable flow.Â
I am so deeply grateful! I just can’t thank you enough!"

Catalyst Labs @ Starbucks Technology
As a Co-Founder in a fast-growing start-up, I wanted to work with Alex to help me deal with managing a growing team and shifting responsibilities, without getting burnt out.Â
Alex helped me uncover what I needed to be able to perform and be better for the business and my team, by feeling better and more in control of myself. Alex made me feel comfortable and supported and was always available for quick questions and ideas.Â
Alex blends business and personal coaching, which really worked for me, as the two go hand-in-hand for any business leader."
